Our Pastoral team is led by Mr Crawley, Deputy Headteacher, with non-teaching support staff providing pastoral care to our student body.  Daily meetings focus on support strategies to help students make progress academically as well as considering their emotional wellbeing.  Pastoral support staff deal with any incidents that may occur, enabling situations to be investigated and resolved quickly and effectively.

Every student is under the care of a tutor and each year group has their own non-teaching Pastoral Manager.  Form tutors develop an understanding and detailed knowledge of each individual’s personality and capabilities.  The Pastoral Manager supports students in a variety of ways, including promoting good attendance, making sure behaviour sanctions and support are in place, dealing with mental health issues and supporting students if there are issues at home.  Every Pastoral Manager is safeguarding trained and will deal with safeguarding concerns as they arise.  Our Pastoral Team are:
 

There are four Houses:

Our House system encourages and develops inter-house competition, such as sports matches and subject competitions generating House points.  A cup is presented to the House with the greatest number of points at the end of the school year.

Every student will have an assembly with their year group once a week.  They include celebration days of national importance, for example, World Space Week and World Literacy Day.  They are also used to celebrate acts of kindness, students who uphold the school's core values, academic achievement and good attendance. They will also complement work carried out during the tutor program.

Each student is placed in a tutor group with other students from the same year group.  They follow a carefully designed tutor program for the 4 tutor sessions per week when not in assembly.
